About The Event:

To achieve excellence, it is important to ensure that the best talents have the opportunity to be considered at the leadership level. While the Public Sector workforce consists of 57% women, there is still an under-representation of women in senior leadership roles. Equal gender representation at all levels is a concept that is in reach but there are still a variety of Public Sector challenges and cultural barriers that continue to make it difficult for women working in Policy areas to access and maintain senior level leadership roles.

The Women in Policy Leadership Summit 2014 will offer an outstanding speaker faculty to bring content to life, as speakers offer perspective, insight, share experiences and provide practical advice on tackling problems and overcoming barriers to progress in the Public Sector policy area. It also explores what can be done by employers, leaders and women themselves to navigate these challenges and facilitate the transition to senior level leadership. The summit will examine the complex and ever changing nature of the Australian Public Sector and how peak performance can be cultivated in this unique, policy driven culture. The outcome the event aims to achieve is to equip emerging and existing leaders with the strategies and skills to advance successfully and reach their career goals in policy driven environments.
